Title: Outer door handle, especially for vehicles
Inventor: MONIG STEFAN
IPC: E05B1/00
Filed: 2000-06-21
Abstract: An outer door handle for vehicles has a stationary housing in the vehicle door. The handle has a handle arm and acts on a lock arranged within the door. A pivotable latching member serves as a mass latching mechanism and makes the handle actuatable in a release position. Because of its inertia in a crash situation, the latching member reaches an active support position and blocks the handle. The pivot bearing for the latching member is located on the stationary housing. The movable handle arm has a shoulder. A counter shoulder is provided on the latching member. The folding movement path of the shoulder on the handle arm is intersected by the pivot movement path of the counter shoulder. In a crash situation the shoulder comes to rest against the counter shoulder. In the release position, the shoulder passes the counter shoulder upon handle actuation.

IPC: A61M60/554
Filed: 1990-06-20
Abstract: A hemodialysis system has a blood circuit and a hemofiltrate circuit interconnected at a hemofilter and an air collection chamber. If an infusion of sterile fluid to the returning blood is needed during the dialysis treatment, filtrate in the filtrate circuit is pumped back into the blood circuit. This is also done to purge the blood circuit of blood and return it to the patient at the conclusion of a dialysis treatment. A blood pump in the blood circuit incorporates a flexible vessel in conjunction with pinch valves which self expand in a controlled manner from a compressed condition to fill with blood from the patient in a suction stroke controlled by the patient's blood delivery rate. Compression of the vessel by an external member then forces the blood through the rest of the blood circuit.

Patent AU-6629694-A (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for controlling sleep disorder breathing
Inventor: AXE JOHN R
IPC: A62B7/00
Filed: 1994-04-14
Abstract: A method and device for controlling sleep disorder breathing utilizes variable multiple level pressures. A pressure source supplies compressed breathable gas at a relatively low pressure to the user's airway. Pressure transducers monitor pressures and convert them into electrical signals. The electrical signals are filtered and processed to extract specific features such as duration and energy levels. If these features exceed selected threshold values for duration and energy level over a minimum period of time, then the microprocessor declares the presence of sleep disorder breathing. If a selected number of these events occur within a selected time period, then the microprocessor adjusts the pressure delivered by the pressure source. If sleep disorder breathing is not detected within a certain time period, then the microprocessor lowers the pressure level gradually. The device and method disclosed in this patent is capable of detecting apnea, hypopnea, and pharyngeal wall vibration. Further, it is able to distinguish between obstructive, central and mixed apnea and hypopnea.
Patent AU-6777898-A (AU)
Title: Bilinear decimator with error compensation
Inventor: BOEHLKE KENNETH A
IPC: G06T3/40
Filed: 1998-03-23
Abstract: A bilinear decimator converts an input data sequence representing a high resolution image formed by N horizontal pixel lines to an output data sequence representing a lower resolution image formed by P horizontal pixel lines where N > P. The decimation ratio P/N can be any rational fraction. When the decimation ratio reduces to the form 1-(1/n), the decimator computes each output sequence data value as a simple weighted average of pixel data values for two vertically adjacent high resolution image pixels. When the decimation ratio is other than of the form 1-(1/n), the decimator adds additional terms to the computation of output pixel data values when necessary to compensate for aliasing errors.
